False Reality • Time Changer
by DevPieter
With False Reality, a Fabric client mod, players set the in-game time of day, the moon phase and the weather for each world or for all of them.
What it does
The mod gives the player direct control over the client-side clock. Time can be set to a chosen value or adjusted in small steps, and the moon phase can be changed to match a scene or a playing style. Weather can be switched to rain on demand. Settings can be kept per world or applied globally as a default for every world the client loads.
Only the client needs the mod; a server runs without it and nothing changes on the server side. It requires Utilize, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric alone, across nine release versions 1.21 – 1.21.8, with 2.1.0+1.21.6-1.21.8 for 1.21.8 as the latest file.
Key features
Time of day control
The client clock can be set to any time, which suits cinematic captures and specific story moments.
Per world settings
Each world can keep its own time configuration, separate from the defaults used elsewhere.
Fine-grained adjustment
Time can be moved in very small increments rather than only in fixed jumps.
Moon phase and rain
The moon phase can be changed independently, and rain can be started whenever the player wants it.

Use cases
Cinematic screenshots
A player can hold a chosen time and moon phase while taking pictures or recording a scene.
Per world atmosphere
Different worlds can keep different times and weather, so each map keeps its own mood.
Who it’s for: Players who record videos, take screenshots or build atmospheric scenes on their own client, including single-player worlds and multiplayer servers where the client changes only its own display.
How it compares
Lux Lunae is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.1, under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Moon Info Updated is also a Fabric client mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and it is open source. RealTimeWorld is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.5, and it needs both the client and the server, which False Reality does not.
